you, specifically you, Dave Wake...
and you got it. Roman Numeral J is back, for better or for worse. It will aim to be a regular, stumbling, but vital contribution to the blrld at large... That's right, the blrld (blogosphere/world) - And so i begin with friendship...
Friendship is such an easy idea to capture I figure I may as well spell it all out for us here. Modern life deters us from formulating new relationships, new friendships.
I've never been, and am not, as a rule, good at friendship. It's not that I don't value it, I do (above almost all else), it's that I tend to assume it, and then inherently believe in it, and then that's it. In the status-oriented world that we live in (the Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter-verse), we all expect to be touched. In fact, as the consumer beings that we are thought of (homo decoro?), marketing theory tells itself that 3 to 7 touches are necessary to make an impression.

This post was almost entirely fully finished (or at least formed) on the original writing, but returning to close up the draft in October 2017, it feels continually, significantly true. I love this picture - it's something I found somewhere on the internet (evidently on a Flickr account). It's nobody I know, but recalls a time that Dave, Nate and I went to a costume party in Copenhagen as a pirate, cowboy, and Zorro (in particular reverse order). That night ended wonderingly,,, and was a great night in connecting.
